Little Rock firefighters work to get a man, with Hernandez Tree Service, down after he was killed by coming in contact with electric lines while trimming tree limbs behind a house in the 3600 block of West 10th St. around 1 pm Wednesday.

A member of a tree service crew was electrocuted early Wednesday afternoon when a limb he had cut fell onto a power line.
